Quite disappointing on our end and also for how most of us see Bruce Pearl. Bruce desperately wanted back in the game as a coach and was willing to coach in basketball hell to get back on the bench. |

Did you know that Auburn's AD was the lead investigator when Bruce Pearl got in trouble with the NCAA? |

I'm curious to know how this will play out in regards to our basketball program. We know that many fans are really upset about this hire. They had hoped that he would come back to UT as the coach. Then you have the Cuonzo Martin wing of UT fans, who want Cuonzo to stay. There is a real divide in our fan base that is reminiscent of the fan base divide among the Fulmersexuals and those who loved the University of Tennessee Football Program. How will this play out?….How will the major boosters react?…..How will the ticket holders react? Much will depend upon how Cuonzo and the team fares in the NCAA play in game and then the tournament if we make into the field of 64 with the other teams. My guess is that Cuonzo Martin's fate is still in the air. Barring a solid run in the NCAA Tournament, UT fans will want blood and it will either come at the expense of Dave Hart or Cuonzo Martin. |

Auburn one upped Alabama again. Wins the Iron Bowl and the Pearl sweepstakes. I bet Charles Barkley is beside himself. |

Boston College just fired their coach. http://espn.go.com/boston/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/10628149/boston-college-parts-ways-coach-steve-donahue Many thought that BC might be a destination for Bruce. I'm an old friend of BC AD Brad Bates and I don;t see Brad and Brice jiving well together. Noticed how Brad waited until after the Auburn announcement to make his announcement. It took pressure off of him that BC boosters may have been showering on him about hiring Bruce. |

Bruce Pearl did what was best for him. Many thought he would land at a mid major University. He took the job at a major university and at a school where basketball is at the bottom of that heap. It is a good move for him because Auburn will improve greatly in basketball. He will be a hero again. Tennessee fans can't hold that against him. He is a good coach, probably not a great one. But he is a wonderful entertainer. He has had character flaws follow him for a long time and probably will continue. But at his short stay at Tennessee he was a champion. Let's remember him that way and not tear him down because he is going to a rival school. |

I thought Tony had some negative things to say about Bruce after he was fired. |

Clay Travis is a sensationalist. He has no credibility. |
